今天(4月17日)上BBC瞧瞧,看他們對青海地震的評述,在“more top stories”下有個標題“China quake toll 'passes 1,000'”,點進去,有個中國地震小專題,頁面右邊有篇文章:“Qinghai: Barren, remote province”,在進入。文中可以有這樣的描述:
“Correspondents say China's strict rule over its restive Tibetan population may have meant a high number of troops stationed around Yushu when the quake struck, and the first images from the scene showed military personnel scrabbling to help the injured. ”
“The Qinghai region was incorporated into China at the beginning of the 18th century, and became a Chinese province in 1928. For centuries Qinghai was part of Tibet, and Tibetan nationalists still regard the province as under colonial rule. ”
西方就是在日常報道中這樣“順便”發(fā)表下自己的傾向。
